Instructional Program Determination. Prior to May 15 of each year, the District shall, after providing opportunity for input from the Association, determine whether financial resources of the District shall be adequate to permit the District to maintain its educational programs and services at substantially the same level for the next school year. If, by May 15, the District determines that financial resources are not reasonably sufficient for the following school year, the District shall adopt a modified educational program (MEP). In the event the District determines that financial resources shall not be sufficient to maintain the same program at the same level, the District shall notify the Association in writing of such determination as soon as possible thereafter. Prior to implementing an MEP, the District shall explore other cost saving options including but not limited to: hiring freeze, vacancy through attrition of employees, securing additional funding, examining programs, etc.
